An election in .which there was a
more interest in South Carolina prob- t
ably than any other was the race for
t
the mayoralty of the city of Charles
ton. It was a very hotly contested c
race and Mr. Sno. P. Grace wins over 1
both opponents by about 85 majority. 1
Both of the local papers in the city C
of Charleston were strongly opposed
a
to Mr. Grace, and, in fact, it might be
said that every paper -in the State c
that took any position at all, was
against Mr. Grace.
So far as our opinion goes, he is a
young man of more than ordinary
ability and good character, and there n
seems to be nothing against, him ex- c
cept that he has opposed the.powers
that have held sway in municipal poli
p
ties in Charleston for ma 7 years. i
He has succeeded also in having the ,t
majority of the aldermen supporters t
of his so that he will not be handi
. capped with an unfriendly aldermanic g
board. c
THE HEN AND THE DUCK.
The best pro-advertising argument
a
we have seen in many days is contain- e
ed in these paragraphs: a
Did you ever notice that when a
t
duck lays an egg she waddles off just
S
as tho' nothing of any consequence had
happened?
Did you ever notice that when a hen
lays an egg she sets up a whale of a
great big noise, calling the attention
of the whole world to the affair, as
though it had never happened before? <
Did you ever notice how much great
er. demand there is for hen eggs than
there is for duck eggs?
Did you ever notice that there is- al
ways a greater demand for an adver
. tised article?
The hen advertises.

a very striking point. ,The merchant

-WORK SELDOI[ APPRECIATED.
We find the following very sensible ]
and very true article in the Sumter i
Item contributed by Mr. W. D. Woods,
of Darlington. Hie wrItes -as if he1
might have had some experience in the
newspaper business. Certainly he ap
preciates the situation and has a fair I
conception of the labors and hard
ships of the average country editor.
And yet it might be said with truth
that the average countrY editor is re
eponsible for this condition. We fear
sometimes that he does not fully ap
preciate or value his own labors. How
Jew people ever offer to pay for a'
~paper. They would think the editor
very mean if he were to requst each
one to pay for a paper when he call-!
.d to get one. And yet they would noti
think of walking into a store and ask,
a merchant to give a cigar:
"If the'writer were asked as to what
agency, in his opinion, was the most
potent in the derglopment of a city
or town, and accomplished the most
in the way of calling attention to its
advantages, the answer would be, a
good newspaper. If he were asked,I
in addition to the above question as to
which, of all efforts in this direction,
received the smallest measure of cred
it and appreciation, the answer
would be the same, the newspaper. In
fact, In this day of booming, and ad
vertising a town, it would be impossi
ble to conceive of any degree of suc
cess following these efforts without
the help of an active newspaper, and
it is no exaggeration to say that the
editor or proprietor, as the case may
be~, contributes from five to ten times~
as much, in proportion to his means,
to advance its interests as any other
2nember of the community.
suggested the editor is expected to
all attention to it, endorse it as a
ne investment and use his best ef
>rts to induce the public to support
, but it very seldom occurs to the
rojectors of these new enterprises to
how any appreciation of the help thus
endered. It is not only business en
rprises that try to secure this free
dvertising, but all kinds of benevol
nt organizations, churches, schools
nd all kinds of entertainments, and
be worst of it is that it never seems
: occur to the people who expect all
ese notices that it costs money to
rint them, and that this money must!
ome out of the pocket, often a very
nan one at that, of the r-'tor. The
idies of a church or some benevolent
rganization will decide to have a fes
ival, reception or some other kind of
n entertainment, and the first step in
be direction of preparing for it is to:
all on the editor and request him to
ot only call attention to it, but to
rge everybody to turn out in aid of
benevolent cause, he of course, being
xpected to attend in order that he.

"The measure of the culture and re

ity can be easily judged by the ap
earance of their homes, for this is an
afallible sign, one that is never wrong.
he other business enterprises can be

GRACE ELECTED MAYOR.
Eas Plurality of 194 Over Col. Hyde

'he State.
Charleston, Nov. 8.-The results of
the primary election yesterday are
the election of Col. John P. Grace as
mayor with a plurality of 194 votes
over Maj. T. T. Hyde and a majority
over both Maj. Hyde and Mr. Hughes
of 85 votes. The supporters of Col.
Grace were generally elected on both
the board of aldermen and school
commissioners.
Surprises came also in many of the
other contests at thie polls. The vote
in the mayoralty race which over
shadowed all other conten s led by
a substantial excess over the vote of
Henry P. Williams, who led the al
dermanic ticket.
Unquestionably the issue of the
campaign was the Consolidated com
pany, which had been prominently!
featured by Col. Grace and his speak
ers. The attack which was made up
on the administrations also served to
